Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to a punching bag system or assembly that includes a device that creates a stable base for a portable punching bag, and more particularly to an assembly and device that has integrated compartments on the base for storage of accessories such as hand dumbbells or jump ropes, as well as personal effects.
- a punching bag base includes a lower surface configured to engage a generally planar support structure, an upper surface with numerous receptacles (also referred to as compartments) formed therein and mounting structure to allow connection of the base to a punching bag.
- the upper and lower parts of the base together form a housing such that the receptacles can be built into in order to accept a connection for a punching bag support pole or act as a placeholder for weights or related exercise equipment or personal effects.
- the support structure onto which the base can rest is preferably a floor or a related generally planar surface.
- the base is made from plastic such that it defines a one-piece (i.e., unitary) structure Likewise, it can be formed such that it defines a substantially hollow construction.
- One or more ballast access ports can be formed in the upper surface to enable selective introduction or removal of sand, liquid, concrete or related fluid ballast material. Such selective access can be implemented by a threaded cap, snap-on cap, pivotably-mounted cap or the like.
- ballast may be placed in the hollow base or in one or more of the shaped compartments that are formed in the base.
- the ballast may be sand that can be disposed within the base. Such sand (or related granular material) can be introduced into or removed from the base through the access port.
- the punching bag base may also include one or more wheels formed on or otherwise coupled to it to facilitate its selective rolling movement.
- a handle may be formed in or otherwise connected to the base.
- the handle is disposed on a substantially opposing portion of the base from the one or more wheels to (in conjunction with the wheel or wheels) further promote ease of base movement.
- One or more of the receptacles can be shaped in the form of exercise equipment in the base upper surface or peripheral edge.
- a preferable shape is that of a conventional dumbbell, such as in a five, ten, twenty-five or other commonly-used sizes.
- dumbbells and related weight-training equipment that are sized to fit with one or more of the base compartments may help form at least part of the aforementioned ballast.
- An enhanced grip mechanism such as a high-coefficient of friction material, may also be placed on the lower surface of the base such that when the base is situated on a floor or other mounting structure, the enhanced grip mechanism helps to resist relative sliding movement between the two.
- a punching bag assembly includes a punching bag, a mounting pole with a first end and a second end such that one of the ends is connectable to the bag, and a base connected to the other end of the mounting pole.
- the base defines a lower surface configured to engage a floor or other generally planar support structure, and an upper surface with at least one exercise equipment receptacle formed therein.
- a portable punching bag assembly includes a punching bag, a base, means for connecting the bag to the base and means for facilitating movement of the assembly.
- the base includes a lower surface that engages a generally planar support structure (such as a floor).
- An upper surface of the base has numerous compartments formed in it, where at least one of the compartments is in the shape of a dumbbell or related exercise weight.
- the connecting means includes a pole that can be used to secure the base and the bag such that the two are pivotably mounted to one another.
- the movement means may include one or both of a handle and a wheel.
- the handle can be formed in the base, where it will be understood that such forming into can also include being securely mounted thereto (such as by rivets, screws, adhesives or related fastening means).
- the wheel may include more than one wheel.
- the base may define a generally hollow construction, such as by a molded plastic material or the like. Ballast (such as sand or any of the other aforementioned flowable materials) may be included in a hollow portion of the base.
- the numerous compartments formed in the base may include one or more additional storage compartments.
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the integrated punching bag base of the present invention with a punching bag attached
- FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the top of the base of FIG. 1 without the punching bag
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the bottom of the base of FIG. 2 .
- a punching bag assembly 1 includes a punching bag 10 mounted onto the top 20 A of a pole 20 or mast that in turn is secured at its bottom 20 B to base 30 .
- the pole 20 may include a height adjustment device 22 to facilitate the raising and lowering of the punching bag 10 as needed.
- One or more hooks may be mounted to the pole to allow the user additional storage for gloves, towels and other exercise equipment.
- connection (not shown) between the top 20 A part of the pole 20 and the punching bag 10 may be through any conventional means, such as a threaded or screwed relationship or an adhesive, weld, clip or other permanent fastener, while the bottom 20 B part of the pole 20 can be secured to base 30 through a mechanism 24 situated in an axially-oriented mounting aperture 32 .
- the mechanism 24 forms a secure connection between the base 30 and the pole 20 so that the punching bag 10 is cantilevered.
- the mechanism 24 may include a spring 26 , which gives the pole 20 an added measure of cantilever flexibility.
- the pivoting motion between the pole 20 and the base 30 can be further enhanced by providing a rotational coupling (such as a bearing sleeve, not shown) between the bottom 20 B part of the pole 20 and the corresponding mechanism 24 of the base 30 . With such construction, an additional degree of freedom of movement of the pole 20 can be provided.
- storage receptacles (or compartments) 34 are formed into base 30 and can be specifically shaped for hand weights (also called dumbbells or exercise weights) W.
- a shaped receptacle or compartment is one that defines a particular pattern or configuration that is dictated by the particular nature of the article to be placed therein, rather than by more generalized concerns.
- the base 30 can be formed from a single piece of moldable material, such as a plastic or related resin.
- a preferred placement for shaped storage receptacles 34 and other storage receptacles or compartments 36 and 38 is in the upper (or top) surface 40 of the base 30 as it allows easy access for the user.
- hand weights 100 , ankle weights or the like by virtue of their relatively dense, heavy construction, may provide more stability to the base 30 when placed therein.
- the other storage compartments 36 and 38 can be used to temporarily house ankle weights, jump ropes and other exercise accessories (none of which are shown), as well as small items, such as keys or key chains, wallets and related personal effects.
- the base 30 defines a generally circular construction with peripheral surface 46 , although it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other shapes, such as square, rectangular, circular or oval shapes could also be employed, and that such additional shapes are within the scope of the present invention.
- peripheral surface 46 while extending in a generally horizontal and radially outward direction, is considered to form (or at least be cooperative with) a portion of the upper surface 40 insofar as any recesses (not shown) formed in the peripheral surface 46 , such as those used as the receptacles and compartments 34 , 36 and 38 discussed above to hold a dumbbell or related piece of exercise equipment, could be readily accessed by a user in a manner generally similar to that of the receptacles or compartments formed in the upper surface 40 of the base 30 .
- Small protruding areas 48 can extend from substantially opposed parts of the peripheral surface 46 , and can be used to accommodate one or more of a wheel (as will be discussed below), handle (not shown) or other accoutrements.
- an access port and removable lid can be used to allow the introduction of sand, water or other flowable ballast material into the substantially hollow compartment or housing formed in base 30 .
- a lower perspective view of base 30 shows a bottom (or lower) surface 42 through which the mounting aperture 32 is formed.
- At least one wheel 44 is integrated into the base 30 to make it easier for a user to tilt the base 30 and roll it for repositioning, storage or the like.
- the wheel 44 can be formed in the protruding area 48 or the peripheral surface 46 of the base 30 .
- the bottom surface 42 of base 30 forms a generally planar structure to allow steady, secure placement of the base 30 onto a floor or related mounting structure.
- a generally circumferential ring 50 formed on the bottom surface 42 can be used to enhance the secure connection of the base 30 to the floor.
- the ring 50 can be made from a spongy, tacky or otherwise enhanced grip construction to increase the coefficient of friction between the bottom surface 42 and floor.
- a ring 50 may further define a generally downward-facing semi-cylindrical shape, and may on its upward-facing side include an adhesive or other fastening means to connect it to the bottom surface 42 of base 30 .
- the axially-extending mounting aperture 32 is formed through the base 30 and may allow for an appropriate connection means to allow a secure coupling between the lower 20 B part of the pole 20 and the base 30 .
